Unloading does nothing, uninstalling it solve the pb.
I have tracked this issue a little, it seems to be in swig
(used by the octave database package).
I did dumb test with swig, and each time i got this issue.

I have written small tools to access postgresdb, so no more need
of this package and swig.
